Cedar Root at Highland Butte

Wow. What an incredible experience. Camp Site 3 was gorgeous. My family had a blast, the beautiful scenery, the nice walks, the playground, the nature sounds and being disconnected from the craziness of life was a wonderful reset. Brad was so warm and helpful and truly had such a beautiful place. Would absolutely recommend!

Great Getaway at Cedar Root

4 m campervan · With pets ·

My wife and I loved our stay at Cedar Root. Brad is the perfect host - great communication prior to our arrival, introduced us to our site and his beautiful land, and so kind and welcoming. Campsite 2 was perfect for our camper van and two pups. This site has the perfect mix of shade in the trees and open sunlight - you always had your choice of sun or shade. The site felt private. Most of all, Brad’s land is glorious with beautiful trees, small meadows, and a wonderfully serene vibe. We saw some rabbits and met Waldo the cat. We recommend walking Brad’s forest trail to hear the birds and take in the lush vegetation. Would love to return!

It is a nice place to camp. The site #2 was a big campsite. The other campsites are also big. The area had plenty of room to roam . It even had a playground. I would stay there again.

Peaceful camping spot with pond!

Tent · With kids ·

Great spot to camp! Beautiful campsites with plenty of space, shade, and close to pond (we stayed in #4). Host, Brad, was very welcoming and gave us a layout of his peaceful property. Our family had a great time, relaxing around the fire pit, walking the trails and feeding the fish/salamanders in the pond.

Great spot! Had fun with my two boys by the ponds. Great communication from Brad and appreciated being able to use Brad's large wheelbarrow to carry some of our gear from the car. Highly recommend!

I loved camping at Brad’s place. Gorgeous place and just what I needed. Brad was great to communicate with, met me upon my arrival, and showed me my spot.

Great last minute experience!

While doing a winter road trip, this host helped us out big time! At 10PM in December we tried to find a campsite and they were all closed! (Duh, it’s snowing lol) I hopped on hipcamp and Brads property was available, immediately! The host immediate messaged us with all information and answering all questions. Even came outside after 11PM to greet us and show us where to park! He is was truly awesome. Absolutely awesome space amidst beautiful greenery and a sweet pond! Oh! The best part! HE ALLOWED OUR DOGS! And they definitely approved. Thank you for giving us a safe space to land and goals to pursue something awesome like this one day!

Brad's property is beautiful and magical. We loved our stay, although a bit short. We would love to come back someday for longer. Great spot for RVs, but the tent sites looked amazing! Brad is a wonderful host who truly cares about sharing the beauty of nature with his guests.

Brad's 4 Hipcamp spots are well cared for and offer plenty of space and privacy. We will return! The location is ~15 minutes to Lumber Park and Estacada - fun and beautiful.

Site 4 was so perfect for our first camping experience with our toddler! There was no one at site 3, so we had the space to ourselves to wander the area, watch newts swim in the pond, forage for blackberries, and soak up the luxury of a camping outhouse. We would definitely return and would recommend it to others!

We had an awesome stay! The campsite was spacious and clean. We enjoyed camping so close to the pond and walking around the property. A great shady spot to escape the summer heat. Thank you Brad!

Camping was a great escape for the family, not far at all from home! Brad was very welcoming and my kids enjoyed exploring the 20 acres. Will definitely be returning.

We had campsite 4. We absolutely loved it. Campsite 3 was empty when we arrived and the whole time we were there so it was even more private. It was very close to the outhouse. Although it was a decent walk to the site from the parking lot but, not too bad at all. To the site is downhill. We had two kids with us and they had a great time. Brad came down to visit and was so nice to us and them. He has a trail we were able to walk with wildflowers. 10/10 spot. We would love to go back if we get the chance.

Cedar root HipCamp is so nice and quiet and peaceful. The forest environment is magical and Brad is a thoughtful host. He is very communicative and has created a lovely environment for an onsite stay, with proximity to all the Portland metro area has to offer. I would definitely stay there again!

We were in site #1 which was great for my 3 kids, aged 4 and under. In fact, I'd discourage sites 3 and 4 if you have toddlers since they're closer to the pond. Which was so awesome by the way. It was murderously hot and the pond was cool and delightful to play in. Site #1 is also immediately next to the swing set and playhouse, so again, great for young kids. We actually had to leave a day early because the baby wasn't into it, but we plan to stay here again next year.

Gorgeous piece of property!! This is the second time I've stayed on Brad's property and it felt so cool that he remembered me! While friends and I were planning a trip to Portland, I recommend staying here, both because of how close it is to the city, but also because of how beautiful the property was and I wanted to show off my find. Brad is always so kind and helpful. I highly recommend both the property itself and Brad as a host.

Family and dog friendly!

Brad has a great set up for camping. Very family friendly. Near the camp sites is a large meadow you can take a nice stroll through. Plenty of wildlife to see and hear. We saw newts, snakes, and fish in the pond. Rabbits, chipmunks, and deer in the meadow and field. Listened to coyotes and owls all night.

Excellent little campsite that felt like we were miles away from home (and we weren’t)! Brad provided helpful information prior to the trip and we were able to settle right in. Nice property to walk around with our dogs. Everything we needed for a quick weekend retreat in the woods.
